Quote:Planet Diablo Hosted Sites:

It is my rather sad and disappointed duty to inform you that after many years of providing free hosting services to excellent community sites like yours, IGN is discontinuing all hosting services as of August 31, 2009.


I have been proud and honored to help host and promote a great portion of the Diablo series community, and wish I had the power to change this.

Please consult this FAQ on the hosting shutdown:
http://hosting.ign.com/faq.php


My apologies for not notifying you sooner, but as you have likely already been notified by IGN, all @planetdiablo.com e-mail addresses are no longer functional. To contact me, from now on use ***@planetdiablo.gamespy.com.


I am hoping to offer some suggestions if not assistance to you in migrating your sites, starting with researching some alternative hosting services.

This, of course, means that places like Phrozen Keep and Median are going down as well.

What does it cost to host Phrozen Keep per month?

This makes perfect sense, what with a third Diablo game (Plus expansions) in the making.

Seeing as IGN is discontinuing all hosting services, Planet Diablo was merely an unavoidable casualty.

Heiho,

Quote:Please, bookmark www.d2mods.com and www.d3mods.org - this way you'll be able to access the Phrozen Keep again once it's moved. The phrozenkeep.planetdiablo.gamespy.com address won't be active after August 31, 2009 (or sooner, depending on how the move goes).

That's all I can say for now. Make sure you check the main page of the Phrozen Keep in the following weeks for updates on the situation. Have a nice day.
